Pros

Pay is decent (I have to add extra words here because there’s no other pro to add)

Cons

No actual possibility of progression for people who genuinely try and want to improve their departments or the store in general. Lazy ignorant managers who expect the world from you but won’t even be on the shop floor enough to understand how it functions from day to day You can’t raise an issue with hr either because they violate any rules hr is meant to adhere by and go grass you up to the manager you’ve tried reporting because they are all mate who want to keep management as a litre exclusive club full of the uneducated
